This is not a journey! Respect to the Celtic marketing guys who ran his headline on a story discussing the Champions League qualifying draw, which takes place on 22 July, the same day the players return to training after a short summer lay-off. You can tell when people enjoy their work.
Last week’s article, ‘We’ve missed them and now we want them back’, referring to the absence of Champions League nights, also had a delicious twist. That’s all we want back!
It’s been a good news day all round, with Peter Lawwell handing over a £10k cheque to Yorkhill Children’s Charity on your behalf. The iconic Glasgow children’s hospital closes tomorrow with services moving to the new Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
Delighted also that Celtic received a Platinum Award from the SFA for the standards of their facilities and governance. We have been awarded by more prestigious bodies but it’s good to be endorsed anyway.
Mike Ashley…….. five counsel to enforce a contract! It’s like going into a fist fight with a bazooka. There will be carnage in the weeks to come………..

Reports in France suggest that Real Madrid wonderkid Martin Odegaard is keen on a loan move to Scottish Premier League side Celtic next season.
Winning Captains,
What about the 20 thousand supporters lost by Celtic? Laughing at Rangers is all very well but we aren’t exactly world beaters ourselves. Ronny can do a lot for us if he is given support but will he be helped by Celtic?
Sadly, too many of us still compare Celtic with Rangers – hence we think that all is well. Standards have fallen.
However, I do believe that we can improve if there is investment. The board have done a lot of positive things.

written and electronic mainstream media is still dominated by their sympathisers fans shareholders,many must be in senior positions, Wullie Miller said on air to Chick Young one weekend which had absolutely no effect on Young that he Miller was broadcasting as an analyst not a fan,if only others would follow that line.
The next person to come up with a stupid sausage pun is asking for a kick up the jaxie – or ‘toed in the hole’ to be precise.

I have an (incomplete ) set of sevconian accounts.
Anybody know how to digitise them?
—————————————————-
I can convert these to binary for you – the answer is 0.
Captain beef , ever since Celtic park was modernised to 60,000 plus seated capacity I would guesstimate that the average home attendance is in the mid 40s. Big european night attendances are a bonus.
Why Would a supposedly up and coming coach join a Scottish championship side..Why…Tell Me Why……Said in my best Bronski Beat Voice…Ha…
If Ode is loaned to us from Madrid, can you imagine the training ground banter? An 18 year-old on 80 grand a week, imagine the kebabs he could buy with that.

Pot/kettle springs to mind :))
BGX – Cathro is only 28 with no mngmt experience so he’s not likely to be offered any top jobs until he proves himself as more than a good no.2. If he is confident in his own abilities then he will think it will be a fairly easy task to win promotion – remember as he’s a fan he will believe that they are the “old” Rangers and it’s just a matter of time before they are challenging us.
We’re livin’in a generation of certain posters domination
Well Seen all the “they will get up by any means the mibs will help them its all a masonic conspiracy in the most bigotted wee country in the world” are nowhere to be seen…..All we Left(laughing) with is SNP BAD….
In the ole days the dominant poster was the wee absent minded lassie playin’ tennis.

Martin Odegaard – with Celtic Legend
clogher celt – thanks. I still read CQN regularly but having opened up the cycling business here (www.traininspain.net and http://www.cafeciclista.es) my hours are irregular at best. Throw in a 2-year-old son who thinks sleep is for wimps and I am rarely lucid enough to string a sentence together.

Anybody know if old mobile numbers get reissued to other customers?
Success in converting the BBQ to a pizza oven tonight. Just under 400º C achieved and pizza cooked (rapidly!) to perfection. With all the talk on the blog today, I had to throw on a couple of sausages for dessert. Nice.
deniabhoy, Good to see you back. I know the cafe in Denia, you have great spot. I hope it goes well.

I doubt if Cathro is a Hun, his dad was at school with me, St Johns in Dundee, in fact his dad Ian played with Albert Kidd and Bobby Glennie in the school team, me too, I was the Anton Rogan of that team.

OBR slashes North Sea tax revenue forecast
3 hours ago
From the section Scotland business
North Sea installation
The UK’s budget watchdog has slashed its long-term forecast for North Sea oil and gas tax receipts by 94%.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimated that a total of £2.1bn would be raised in the 20 years to 2040-41.
That is about £34.5bn lower than it estimated last year, and less than the tax revenue from last year alone.
The OBR said its new forecast reflected in part lower oil and gas prices and a revision down of expected production.
Its Fiscal Sustainability Report stated: “Our latest projection shows that the effect of lower oil and gas prices and production has been partly offset by lower expenditure to leave the implied pre-tax profits from the North Sea positive, but relatively low.
“The effects of accumulated losses reducing the effective tax rate paid by companies in the North Sea, plus the repayments associated with decommissioning costs, mean that in our central projection just £2bn of receipts will be raised in total between 2020-21 and 2040-41.”
It added: “As we always stress, North Sea revenues have been the most volatile receipts stream and are subject to large forecast errors, even over the short term.
“These projections are therefore subject to considerable uncertainty.
“It is quite possible that the industry’s response to conditions that currently prevail could lead to very different outcomes.”
‘Significant reduction’
Responding to the forecast, Scottish Secretary David Mundell said it was “a very significant reduction” which highlighted the challenges facing the industry as a result of last year’s steep fall in oil prices.
He added: “The UK government has already introduced a significant package of reforms to support the sector, worth £1.3bn, including reducing the headline tax rates and introducing a new Investment Allowance to reward companies investing in the UK Continental Shelf.
“That package is expected to lead to £4bn of additional investment and an increase in production by 15% by 2019-20.”
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: “The OBR themselves state that these projections are ‘subject to considerable uncertainty’ – and the figures reflect recent low oil prices, which some forecasters have predicted will bounce back to higher levels over the longer term.
“Oil and Gas UK estimate that there are up to 23 billion barrels of oil and gas still to be recovered from the North Sea.
“The key to supporting the industry in the long term and maximising the recovery rates of remaining reserves is ensuring a stable and supportive fiscal and regulatory regime is put in place and maintained.
“That is why it is important that the Emergency Budget in July retains and builds upon the measures announced in the March Budget.”
